This show is so stupid amazing. Now to be honest, I can't really approve of their methods all of the time, but is it entertaining beyond belief? You betcha.
This is your gateway drug episode:

Ugh. I can't comment on the medieval eps, but any of the ones with guns are awful. The GB vs Spets one infuriated me I couldn't even finish it, and mafia vs yakuza pretty much the same. Don't even get me started on the "dramatic reenactments". The Mythbusters could run this show 100x better, they actually attempt to be scientific about things ( ... )

The medieval eps? Very silly. Like you could pit a pirate against a knight. The premiss of making either fight out of his natural element is ridiculous. In the case of the pirate, for example, without the limitations of a small, contained battlefield, he would obviously pick something other than a short cutlass against an opponent like a knight. And a pirate's worth would be calculated by his seamanship and the accuracy of his cannonfire, the weatherliness of his ship etc, etc.
For fighters like the vikings, ninjas, or pirates, the element of surprise was key to their success. Without it, why the hell would they fight? GRUMBLE MUTTER BITCH.

Anyway,I was watching the Spetsnaz vs. GB one and actually thought: "I wonder what Duncan thinks about this". I was gonna call, but my American phone is deader than the ER doctor on this show's credibility as a serious physician ( ... )
